Preventing the lawful burial of a body
Prevention of the lawful and decent burial of a dead body is an offence under the common law of England and Wales.〔("Hans Rausing charged with highly unusual offence" by Daniel Hoadley ), ''The Guardian'', Wednesday 18 July 2012〕 The offence is infrequently charged.〔(Common Law Offences Charged and Reaching a first hearing in Magistrates' Courts ), Crown Prosecution Service〕 As a common law offence, it is triable only on indictment and can be punished by an unlimited fine, imprisonment, or both.
Examples of conduct amounting to the offence include detaining a body, for instance upon a claim for fees or a debt, refusing to deliver it to the executors for burial, or when entrusted with it for burial selling for dissection. It is a separate common law offence to dispose of a dead body with intent to obstruct or prevent a coroner's inquest.
Burning a body instead of burying it was not illegal.〔 It is now an offence to burn a body otherwise than in an approved crematorium.〔(regulation 13, Cremation (England and Wales) Regulations 2008 )〕
Disposing of the dead body of a child with intent to conceal the birth of that child (regardless as to when he or she died) is an offence under section 60 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.〔(section 60, Offences Against the Person Act 1861 )〕
